[Magdalen] End of an Era.

[Charles Wohlers]

The complete phrase is: "The Holy Eucharist, the principal act of Christian 
worship on the Lord's Day and other major feasts ..." If it was required, it 
would say something like "The Holy Eucharist is to be the principal act of 
Christian worship on the Lord's Day and other major feasts ..." But it 
doesn't say that. I agree with Scott that Eucharist is intended to be the 
norm, but isn't required. IMHO.

"the principal act of Christian worship on the Lord's Day and other
major Feasts" doesn't sound like a suggestion to me, but clearly
MMV.

I grew up in a church with Eucharist on the first Sunday (and every
Sunday at 8 am) but by the 1970s was in a church with three on
Sunday and one on weekdays.
